AEON's Free Trial of Super Chinese E-Learning: An Opportunity for Universities

AEON's Free Trial of Super Chinese E-Learning

In a notable initiative, AEON Co., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced a limited-time offer for a free trial of its e-learning program, "Super Chinese." This offer is specifically aimed at university staff members responsible for academic affairs and training, starting from January 11, 2026, until January 31, 2026. AEON operates the Hao Chinese Academy, which focuses on providing high-quality Chinese language instruction through various learning modalities, including online courses.

"Super Chinese" is a comprehensive e-learning resource designed to reinforce foundational Chinese language skills. This program is not only accessible to students enrolled at the Hao Chinese Academy but is also utilized as supplemental learning material by several universities across Japan. The course encompasses a cyclical learning method consisting of video lessons, drill practice, and evaluative tests, enabling participants to build their vocabulary and grammar skills from beginner to intermediate levels. Importantly, the curriculum supports not only everyday conversation but also preparation for the HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) levels 4 and 5, along with business dialogue training.

A distinctive feature of the program is the "My Portfolio" functionality. This innovative tool visualizes individual learning progress and achievements in graphical format, enhancing motivation and allowing for effective tracking of one's advancement through the course materials.

Feedback from current users highlights the engaging nature of the e-learning experience. One Hao student mentioned, "The drills and tests make it feel like a game as I strive to score 100 points, turning learning into a fun challenge." A third-year university student noted, "I have developed a habit of studying one lesson at a time during free periods. Concentrated learning during holidays also proved beneficial." Additionally, a university staff member acknowledged the challenges of having limited exposure to Chinese outside class, stating, "Prior to adopting this resource, there were significant challenges in retaining what we learned. However, since implementation, the video explanations and rich drills have definitively bolstered our foundational skills."

In light of recent consultations and inquiries regarding the need for supplemental learning hours outside of university classes, AEON is excited to provide this free trial account offering specifically tailored for university staff engaged in Chinese language education. This initiative not only invites universities considering the introduction of new supplementary materials for Chinese studies but also encourages those reevaluating their existing resources to explore this opportunity.

AEON is committed to supporting the language proficiency of individuals who are eager to pursue their dreams and challenges, ensuring that resources are available to enhance their learning experience.
